Description:	Encountering concepts of privilege and the politics of representation can be unsettling, sometimes having a 'paralysing' effect on students' practice. As one put it, it involves “transforming our perception of the world,” which takes “time and emotional energy.” This article considers how we can support this process of reflection and identity formation, without shying away from our our collective responsibilities to confront histories of oppression. --- The concepts outlined in the article are also explored further in the following podcast episode, recorded in September 2020: The Messy Truth: Dr Jennifer Good - On Ethics https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/dr-jennifer-good-on-ethics/id1459128692?i=1000492347357
